Scraps of Darkness & Sketches: Creatively Yours ~ Sandy Claws

Here is sketch 2-12 from Sketches: Creatively Yours. Ann Seleshanko, our senior designer, is the one who designed this awesome sketch. Please come by and share your creation with us and be inspired by what the rest of the DT made.

When I saw Ann's sketch I looked at the grid and thought of a present. So I went in that direction. Using my incredible Scraps of Darkness, Winter's Eve, December kit, I created a 'dark' Christmas scene. These are the Enchanted Bo Bunny papers layered up. The Nightmare Before Christmas scene was made from 7 different pictures I took at Disneyland on the Haunted Mansion ride, featuring Sandy Claws.

Scraps of Darkness & Punky Scraps ~ Enjoy the Magic

Here is an inspiration challenge (#37) from Punky Scraps. You are to use this "Always Coca Cola" theme/image to help you create a page/project. Please come by the blog to share what you make with us and to see what the rest of the DT came up with.

This is what I came up with using the amazing "Winter's Eve" Decmeber kit from Scraps of Darkness. When I saw the inspirational image, all I could focus on was the winter scene. Of course living in this hot desert, is probably why I have snow envy. But we did have a magical moment at Disneyland a few weeks ago, in Decmember 2011, right there on Main Street. It snowed for a couple of minutes. It was so amazing, and the look on Jasmine's face staring at a snowflake was priceless, it reminded me of a commerical. I added some bottle caps from an older kit, to help punk out this Coca Cola theme.

I used the cardboard from the box the kit was mailed in. I first painted it with some clear molding paste, then sprayed some of Lindy's mists (color add-on) over it, for this incredible sheer bg. Those pink and white snowflakes with the Webster's Pearl Sparklers (all main kit) looked perfect on the bottle caps. The Prima black vine (romance add-on) worked perfectly with the white Prima flower (Floura & Fauna). The sprigs, silver snowflakes, acorns and silver leaves came from my stash, a clearance sale after Christmas :)
